✦ Synopsis

Charcoals were prepared in the laboratory under known carbonization conditions from hard and soft woods. The charcoals were studied by elemental analysis, adsorption of carbon dioxide at 195K, Hg porosimetry, DGA and ignition temperature measurements. The properties of the charcoals were compared and related to their performance in gunpowder. The charcoal giving evenly burning gunpowder had the highest internal pore volume. 120. Development of a non-destructive test for charcoal beds M. E. Smith and A. Bailey (Chemical Defence Establishment, Porton Down, Salisbury, Wilts, England).

Development of a non-destructive test for determining residual filter life is described; results for the dry air/dry charcoal system are given. Rate constants for various grain size charcoals, correlation between non-destructive and destructive testing and the relationship between non-destructive test penetration and loading on the charcoal are given.
